Introducing automated product categorization with Product Classifier

Automate your Shopify product categorization and save hours of manual work with our new Product Classifier integration.

The challenge of product categorization

With over 10,000 categories in Shopify's Product Taxonomy, manually classifying products is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency. We've partnered with Product Classifier to bring you an automated solution that's both accurate and cost-effective.

Why Product Classifier?

Unlike general-purpose AI solutions that can hallucinate categories or provide inconsistent results, Product Classifier is purpose-built for e-commerce categorization. It offers:

  • 80-90% cost savings compared to generic AI solutions
  • Single API call for instant results (no polling required)
  • Custom AI instructions to categorize products exactly how you want
  • Consistent, reliable output every time

Getting started

Setting up the integration takes just 15 minutes. You'll need:

  • Cloudhooks installed in your Shopify store
  • A Product Classifier account (free trial includes 50 classifications)

The automation works by detecting new products, sending their details to Product Classifier, and automatically applying the correct category—all without manual intervention.
